Alkaline Trio - Maybe I'll Catch Fire

Album: Maybe I'll Catch Fire (2000)

Lyrics:

This house is full of ears, but I can't talk to anyone
They've heard this one a thousand times
The most exciting thing I do, hang half way out a third floor window
And maybe throw lit cigarettes down

And maybe I'll catch fire
Something warm to hold me
Something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind
All that evil shit's not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice

This house is full of eyes, but I can't look at anyone
They've seen this face a thousand times
The most relaxing thing I do, hang half way out a third floor window
And look at rocks if I fall out

And maybe I'll fall hard
Something tough to break me, something sharp to rip into my insides
And bleed out all the pain
Sorry I don't even know your name
I guess for me it's easy this way

Maybe I'll catch fire
Something warm to hold me
Something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind
All that evil shit's not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice

One of the most underrated bands of all time....Alkaline Trio are just amazing!!!!!

[Deathandbliss]

@raymondmiloshIII cause too many people are into that pop garbage they call ke$ha nd other prime examples of bad music like bruno mars nd that beiber kid -.- people do not care about lyrics anymore it's all whatever sounds good it never matters what the lyrics are anymore

[bobrulerofall]

@FabulousKilljoysFTW yup, and oh, really :3 i thought you were being mean, i feel sorta happy now. xD

and exactly, just cause they dont get on the note perfectly like a computer doesnt mean it cant sound amazing. a lot moer people can sing than you think, even justin bieber is decent at least, but the garbage his record company produces proves he's exlioting it for money, like a lot of people.

[FabulousKilljoysFTW]

@bobrulerofall really? Wow, I have a lot more respect for the guy! And I know, most bands and artists use auto-tuning to a certain extent in their music, even if it's just to get themselves sounding perfect for their albums. That's why most bands sound better live, because it's more realistic (:

[bobrulerofall]

@FabulousKilljoysFTW but he doesnt use exteme auto tuning, google it -n- i feel pathetic defending a pop artists, but it just kinda pisses me off when people say false things about anyone. sorry if i sound mean, i really am not meaning to offend. he uses a little auto-tuning in his songs for his albums, but a LOT more people use that then you realzie, the one i remember is maroon 5. anyway, live he just sings.

[AwfTHENormal]

alkaline trio.... ur responsible for my hottest girlfriend ever and her cutting habits

[FabulousKilljoysFTW]

@bobrulerofall umm, that's called extreme auto-tuning, mate...

[bobrulerofall]

@nickstan182 i didnt diss it xDD

i love alkaline trio, i dont listen to bruno mars much, but he really can sing though.

[bobrulerofall]

@Deathandbliss yeah lol xD

alkaline trio is way better, but i just like bruno mars's voice.

[nickstan182]

Ok all you Alkaline Trio haters, At least they write their own lyrics. And really repetitive? Isnt that all a chorus is? And Bruno mars = Auto-tuned... Dan has one amazing voice and is way more creative that bruno mars and any mainstream artist (Due to the fact that mainstream artist get their lyrics from their record company)... Just sayin, dont be hattin. You dont see me going around to bruno mars videos and dissin them.

[Deathandbliss]

@bobrulerofall yeah but to a fault his lyrics are terribly repetitive and thats all that he got going 4 him is that yes he can sing but it would't kill to have better lyrics like cmon

[bobrulerofall]

@Deathandbliss bruno mars can sing at least o-o
